Coffee-chain giant Starbucks will layoff 1,100 corporate employees by Tuesday, as per reports.

CEO Brian Niccol reportedly announced the layoff on Monday through a letter to the employees, citing the reason as to improve ‘efficiency, accountability, and integration by reducing complexity’.

The layoffs are only for the corporate employees though, and the server staff, baristas, or warehouse workers will not be affected by it.

Niccol, who was appointed CEO last year, reportedly said that the company’s size and structure slow it down with too many layers.

Starbucks had said that Brian Niccol was made CEO because the company wanted to turn around its business while contending with broad-based sales declines in its most recent financial results.

The company had cited weakening consumer sentiment and difficult market conditions in China as factors in its troubles.

Starbucks noted that his previous work at Chipotle had “driven significant growth and value creation,” citing revenue nearly doubled and rising profit.
